How can I let my program keep running even if it receives SIGINT?

I succeeded to write a program to handle SIGINT using Deno.addSignalListener("SIGINT", ...) API, but Deno always exits when it receives a SIGINT whether I put Deno.exit() inside the signal handler or not. [Edit: It was my mistake. Deno keeps running if a signal handler was registered.] I just want my program to reload the configuration file instead of terminating when it receives SIGINT. Is there any way to do it?

You can stop a program from existing by using beforeunload listener: https://deno.land/manual@v1.29.4/runtime/program_lifecycle#program-lifecycle

Deno supports browser compatible lifecycle events:

If you call preventDefault() on the event it will, well, prevent the default handling from occurring which is to close the program.

Sorry, it was my mistake. I tested again with a minimal example, and Deno apparently keeps running even if it receives SIGINT once after I registered a signal handler.

Ah, okay.
